Abstract:
Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) is a type of asphalt mixture produced at lower temperatures compared
to traditional Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). It incorporates either Organic or chemical additives as
bitumen modifier.
Due to its advantages over traditional Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) in terms of both the environment
and economy, Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) technology has attracted a lot of attention recently. In
order to enhance WMA's sustainability and performance, this thesis looks into incorporating
Zeolite and Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) into the material. The study's main objectives are
to assess this novel asphalt mix's mechanical qualities, potential environmental effects, and
viability from an economic standpoint. The main objective of this study is to determine the Marshall
stability and flow of WMA incorporating RAP and Zeolite. Zeolite has a unique porous structure
that allows it to adsorb and hold water molecules, which may contribute to reducing the
permeability of the asphalt mixture. Additionally, zeolite exhibits antioxidant properties and
enables the production of Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) at lower temperatures. Furthermore, it is
readily available in the market at a lower price range
